Quark App Studio — iPad Publishing Checklist

at www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/.

(shop.quark.com) or a Quark authorised reseller (http://www.quark.com/resellers).
■ You also can download a 30-day QuarkXPress 9.1 Test Drive free of charge. You can do

purchases, make sure you supply all of the information Apple requires in order

Install Xcode
■ You won’t need to touch Xcode; however, it needs to be installed in order to
create your App with App Studio Factory.

free Xcode package, which includes the iOS Simulator, from the Mac App Store.
You can download Xcode later with your Apple Developer Account, but this might
speed up your testing.
■ If you’re using Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6), you must wait until your
Developer Account is approved before you can download Xcode.
■ Download Xcode for Lion here:
